    Guadalupe was really friendly and easy to work with. Obviously my first and only wedding, she made the entire planning process fairly easy. At the time,My fiancé (now wife) and I visited her home for our initial
    Consultation. She and her husband were welcoming and really put forward an effort to make our ceremony unique and about us! We selected a non denomination ceremony, yet with the right balance of prayer. The consultation gave her a sense of who we are and what we were looking for.

    After our initial consultation, the reverend sent us an outline of what our ceremony /vows would consist of. She was open to us making edits and taking out what we did not like. We then sent her our final draft and we were set for the big day !!!

    We also opted for the "rehearsal dinner appearance package" where the reverend and her husband showed up for our rehearsal dinner to go over the day of wedding (ceremony). I highly recommend you add this too because it made the day of ceremony go on without glitch!

    On our big day, (one of the perks!) consisted of the reverend bringing her husband along to assist with the ceremony. Not only was he nice enough to come out on his birthday, but also helped spread out and make sure my bride's dress looked stunning coming down the aisle.
    I highly recommend Reverend Guadalupe!

    P.s. She is also bilingual !!! (Spanish/English)

    I'm very happy to have found Guadalupe to be the officiant for our wedding day. It was important to us to have a bilingual officiant and she worked out perfectly. The ceremony she wrote alternates between English and Spanish so she doesn't have to repeat everything or have the ceremony run too long.
    What I liked best about her is that after meeting her, you know she does this job because she loves to unite people and isn't driven by money. She asked to meet us first to get to know us then left the decision up to us. Before hiring her, I had other officiant companies calling or emailing me multiple times asking if I was going to hire them after I asked them for more information. I felt like I was dealing with someone trying to get my money. I was very happy to have found Guadalupe who got to know us in order to write the perfect ceremony.

    It was such a short notice that we couldn't decide how to do this. Since we talked to her on the phone, she was warm, friendly, inviting.. Much more than just a business transaction ( we felt like that with the other people we called ) This was a very special moment for us and even in such a short notice, she made it extra, extra special.

    I want to say that Lupe was wonderful in all respects. We had a intimate wedding at our home. Lupe was so professional and pleasant and she help make the event warm and loving and fun as it should be. She was flexible as we changed the date on her at the last minute. My memories will be one of no stress, warm, fun and loving event. My friends told me after the wedding how impressed they were with Lupe. Great Job Lupe! Also a thank you goes to Lupe's husband who came and helped with photo's.

    We got married in August of 2013 at Hilltop Park in Signal Hill and our ceremony was just amazing! Our family and friends loved the ceremony and continue to tell us how beautiful everything was. We were extremely happy in being able to write our own vows and have our ceremony in Spanish. Having a ceremony in Spanish was extremely important for our parents and they felt special that Guadalupe was able to provide this for us and them.

    The process of hiring Guadalupe was easy and simple. We met once and went over the details and a little bit of our relationship to facilitate the write-up of the ceremony. We felt our ceremony was really what we were looking for. Guadalupe was able to provide work with us on edits and additions via email and phone calls. The price was especially good since we were on a strict budget.


    Thank you for making our day very special. We highly recommend Guadalupe!

    Con Cariño,
    Elizabeth y José Luis

    I honestly have nothing but great things to say about Rev. Arrieta and her husband Jordie. We contacted her on short notice, and she was completely understanding of our situation and met up with us when I returned from my time abroad. We appreciated that she listened to all our suggestions and the ceremony conveyed all of what we had expressed to her. Everyone who attended the ceremony loved it.
    Perhaps the only mishap was on my part, my emotions got the best of me and I basically started to cry when I was saying my vows and I completely forgot I was supposed to say them in Spanish. Oh and I am also to blame for pouring my sand too quickly into the jar for the sand ceremony.
    I would definitely recommend Rev. Arrieta to any couples out there looking to have a wonderfully memorable wedding ceremony.

    Rev. Arrieta along with her husband Jodie had the most beautiful ceremony for me and my husband on July 14, 2012. They are very professional, prompt and work with you to give you the ceremony you want. They both helped us coordinate the whole ceremony. They were vary patient with our bridal party. My family and friends loved our ceremony the most, they bragged about how beautiful it was and how the ceremony was they're favorite part of entire evening. Thank you both, I definetely 100% recommend this wonderful officiant to all brides and grooms. #1. Thank you sooo much!!! Rev. Guadalupe Arrieta & Jodie.

    Rev. Arrieta did an amazing job at our wedding. She was so nice and interested in really getting to know us and making our ceremony special and personal. Making our ceremony bilingual was a major plus and was done just perfectly. She was just a phone call away if there was anything we needed and really just took the time and showed she cared. Her husband was there to help coordinate our bridal party and without him they might have been lost! We were so glad to have chosen such a great couple to help make our day a perfect, memorable one. Thank you again!

    I'm so glad I booked Reverend Guadalupe Arrieta to perform our ceremony for my 11/11/11 wedding. The ceremony was thee favorite part of my whole day, without a doubt. It made my wedding day beyond memorable, not only for myself and my new husband, but for many friends and family who were in attendance. I still get comments about how they enjoyed the ceremony very much.

    Reverend Arrieta met with us early on in the planning of our ceremony, and even gave us the suggestion to incorporate the "Love Letter Box" ritual into our ceremony--one that was enjoyed by many guests! She was always very professional, and always responded to any questions and emails almost instantly. One friend even asked me for her contact info soon after the wedding for her friend who is getting married soon! The Reverend also came out a couple of days before, along with her husband who also helps her coordinate, to the rehearsal and walk-through at the venue. On the day of, Mr. Arrieta was VERY helpful and got things moving along without a problem. They both helped keep everyone calm that day.

    I highly recommend California Dream Weddings to perform your wedding ceremony! You won't regret it! :)

    Guadalupe was very attentive to my every concerns and questions. She did a stupendous job with the ceremony and maintained the timeline she had originally planned. I felt completely comfortable knowing that she was performing a ceremony that she planned with my input involved. You wont be disappointed, she will make your ceremony very memorable.

    We wholeheartedly recommend Guadalupe and her husband to any couple looking for a wonderful wedding officiant! Our ceremony was a collaboration between us and Guadalupe and was bi-lingual. She met with us to get to know us, was in constant contact as we worked on our vows, was a guiding force at the rehearsal. We felt secure as the big day approached. Both Guadalupe and her husband were a calming influence before the ceremony. Perfect! Five stars!
    Thank you again!

    Reverand Guadalupe Arrieta performed our wedding ceremony on 5.15.11. She was very friendly and professional and made us immediately feel at ease around her. We requested a bilingual ceremony to accomodate some of our guests and she did a wonderful job at incorporating all of our requests. She provided us with a lot of direction on the day of the wedding which was incredibly helpful. Overall we had a wonderful experience working with Reverand Arrieta and would highly recommend her.

    Rev. Guadalupe Arrieta performed our wedding ceremony and did an amazing job. She was very helpful during the planning process and spent a lot of time writing and re-writing our ceremony vows to perfectly fit what we wanted. We decided on a Spanish/English ceremony and she wrote out the ceremony to accomodate both languages. She was extremely helpful at the rehearsal and eager to help us make any changes necessary. I would definitely recommend her to any couple looking for a professional and personable officiant. Thank you so much Rev. Arrieta!!

Both of our families were really impressed with Guadalupe and her husband. If you are looking for an Officiant look no further Guadalupe is the BEST!!! California Dream Weddings is the BEST!!!!

    Quality of service was exceptional. She responded to every email in a timely manner. She was helpful with every question and gave me suggestions and advice that I desperately needed.

    She has a professional manner with a voice that is not too soft, nor to strong. Voice tone was very important to me.

    I can't speak for cost because I was so busy planning my wedding so there wasn't, much, per say, comparison shopping. I can say I was happy with the results and that is what is ultimately important. Someone that I felt comfortable with and responsive to my needs.

    We met for a rehearsal and she was there on time and most importantly on time for my special day.

    We would give Rev. Arrieta a two thumbs up rating!
    She gave us a custom fitting to our wedding ceremony in terms of blending our past history and it fits in wonderfully smooth and appropriate.
    Again, we applaud you for a job well done!

    It was a pleasure working with Guadalupe. I had been looking for a bilingual officiant who could incorporate both English and Spanish into our ceremony and was having a hard time finding one until Guadalupe contacted me. From my first visit with her up until the wedding, she remained very friendly and professional. I never had a hard time getting a hold of her when I needed to. Guadalupe never hesitated to do things the way we wanted them and was there to offer any advice when we needed it. The ceremony that she wrote for us was beautiful and she did all this for a rate I couldn't say no to. I would definitely recommend Guadalupe to anyone who is looking for a great officiant to help make their wedding day a success.

    Rev,Arrieta was very nice and respectfull very helpfull. Her bilingual was a definite plus for me. She seemed a little nervous when performing the ceremony but it all turned out great.
